binaryFixedPointToNumber

function binaryFixedPointToNumber(value): number;

Converts a BinaryFixedPoint to a JavaScript number.

Precision loss occurs only when |value.raw / 2 ** fractionalBits| exceeds Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER, since JavaScript numbers have only ~53 bits of mantissa. For values whose magnitude fits that budget the result is exact, regardless of the raw value's magnitude.

For exact representations prefer binaryFixedPointToString.

Parameters

Returns

number

Example

const q1_15 = binaryFixedPoint('signed', 16, 15);
binaryFixedPointToNumber(q1_15('0.5')); // 0.5
